2025年中考英语第一轮复习之语法突破+题型探究（通用版） 专题4 阅读理解10篇 (中考真题+名校模拟） （1） When you want to ask your teacher a question during class, what do you do? Do you simply shout out your question as soon as it enters your mind? Or do you raise your hand and wait until the teacher calls your name? If you politely raise your hand first, it’s probably because your teacher requires what you are allowed to do when you have a question. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone can talk whenever they want during class? Instead of a peaceful learning environment, a class without rules would be chaotic (乱的)! When you learn to drive, you will realize how many rules you have to follow. The rules for driving share a common purpose (目的) with many rules you must follow in your daily life to keep your safe. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “No rules, no standards.” If you make a list of the rules you follow each day, you will quickly realize how many of them can keep you safe and make your life more enjoyable as a result. Although sometimes you feel like a rule is unfair, don’t break it. Instead, decide what you can do to change the rule. Working within the rules to change the rules is what you need to do. 1．What does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By describing a situation. C．By asking some questions. 2．To keep order in the class, what can teachers do according to paragraph 2 ? A．Change some rules. B．Teach students how important the rules are. C．Make some rules in advance. 3．What does the underlined sentence mean in Chinese? A．不以规矩，不能成方圆。 B．有则改之，无则加勉。 C．吃一堑，长一智。 4．What can we learn from the passage?

There is a scientific reason for this. Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C．, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．Why can singing help people learn foreign languages? A．Because people can learn languages from the lyrics.

The sight is a perfect background for a horror film: mysterious and of course bloody. Its special color was long believed to be caused by red algae (红藻). Until 2017, the true cause of the so-called blood was proved to be oxidized iron in saltwater. ______________     Impressive yet a dangerous sight, frozen bubbles (气泡) can be seen in winters at Abraham Lake in Canada. When methane (甲烷) gas gets crowded underwater and freezes, it will finally form this special sights—frozen bubbles. Such plenty of methane is highly risky. So even a lit match nearby can cause an explosion (爆炸). Mirror of the Sky     During the new moon and full moon periods, tourist can see a clear reflection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach in Malaysia.

Many traditional artists are starting to livestream like Douyin and Bilibili. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some make paper cutting, while others perform Chinese classical music. A growing number of young people are starting to become more interested in traditional culture because of livestreaming. Li Jun is a Peking Opera performer from the Shanghai Jingju Theater Company.

So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work won first prize in a national competition aiming to nurture creative thinking by encouraging youths to solve social problems. The invention was also granted (授予) a national patent (专利). When connected to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to develop a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2,000 yuan.” After making their first device, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it based on the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be popularized (普及) in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 1．Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader?

The helmet is really a kind of airbag. It is inside a large collar (衣领). People wear it around their neck like a scarf. When the rider falls off his or her bike, the collar quickly fills with air and an airbag appears around the head. The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstinat, wanted to change the way people ride bikes. They said, “Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky, like a hard mushroom (蘑菇) on the head.” They called their new invention the Hövding. The pair said it looked so cool that people would be happy to wear it. The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmet will change how people all over the world ride bikes. In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online in Europe. It sells for around $530. The company did not say when people in the rest of the world could buy it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is special about the new helmet? A．It is an airbag that looks like a mushroom.

The agreement has been the first of its kind in 40 years. It plans to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030. Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to hundreds of thousands of different kinds of animals and plants. Healthy oceans are a very important part of a healthy planet. But the oceans are in trouble. Overfishing (捕捞过度) has had a terrible effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships and other places has caused serious problems. In 1982, an agreement described the “high seas (公海)”, but it did not protect them. In these areas, all countries have the right to fish, send ships, and do research. The high seas cover about two-thirds of the ocean. But now people only protect 1. 2% of the areas. Last December, over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030. Without an international agreement, there was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The new agreement now makes this feasible. The new agreement tries to turn 30% of the high seas into protected areas by 2030. It also says that activities planned for the high seas must first be examined to see what kind of influences they might have on the ocean environment. Businesses in some countries hope to make a lot of money by getting valuable things from the bottom of the sea. Other businesses hope to find plants or animals in the ocean that could lead to new discoveries and new medicines. Many of the disagreements were about how valuable things would be shared between rich countries and poor ones. Poor countries wanted to make sure that the valuable things would help everyone, not just people in rich countries. 1．How many countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans? A．Nearly 20 countries. B．Very few countries. C．Most countries in the world. D．Just a few countries. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly show us? A．The problems oceans face. B．Some ways to protect oceans. C．Different kinds of ocean creatures. D．People’s different ideas about oceans. 3．What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Awful. B．Painful. C．Possible. D．Dangerous. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．The new agreement only tries to protect fish. B．All countries will stop fishing in the high seas. C．Valuable things from the oceans will go to rich countries. D．Many countries have paid attention to protecting the oceans. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The importance of healthy oceans. B．Overfishing and pollution in the oceans. C．A new agreement to protect the open oceans. D．Disagreements between rich and poor countries （9） Have you ever noticed something around you that you’ve never seen before? They all came about because someone invented them. Most inventions begin with an idea. Someone sees a need or a problem. Then he or she thinks of an idea to meet that needs or solve the problem. But not all inventions happen on purpose. They may be something by working on an idea and invent something else by chance. Or an inventor might make a mistake that turns out to be a good idea. Between AD 600 and 900, scientists in ancient China were working in a lab when they invented fireworks by accident. They were working on an invention that would help people live forever. They mixed materials together like salt, charcoal (木炭), and sulphur (硫黄). They put the mixture into pieces of bamboo. Then they threw them into a fire. This is how fireworks were invented. In 1905, a boy named Frank Epperson left a cup of soda (苏打水) outside all night. It had a wooden stick in it. The soda froze in the cold evening. In the morning, Frank tasted the frozen soda. He shared the frozen soda with his friends. All of them spoke highly of his new invention. It tasted really good! He called his invention “Episicle”. In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver was researching adhesives (黏合剂) when he discovered one that stuck to things, but could then be easily taken away. For years he tried to find a use for his invention. At the same time, another scientist named Art Fry was singing. He used small pieces of paper to mark the songs in his book. He needed bookmarks that would stay in place. Silver and Fry discussed their ideas and created the Post-it note. 1．According to Paragraph 3, scientists in ancient China were working in a lab to ________. A．invent fireworks B．invent something that could make fire C．cook some delicious food D．invent something that would help people live forever 2．Who invented “Episicle”? A．Scientists in China.

A．The importance of inventions B．How to invent things C．Some famous inventors D．Inventions by accident （10） We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals like birds, fish and whales. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop (粪便), USA Today reported. The finding came from a study led by scientists from Environment Agency in Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a poop sample for testing. Scientists found nine different types of plastic in the samples, according to the study. An average of 20 small plastic particles (颗粒) were found in every 10 grams of poop. The particles measured between 50 to 500 micrometers. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system (淋巴系统), and may even reach the liver (肝脏),” Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research, said to the Guardian. However, the scientists aren’t sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They’re not sure how the plastic got in the volunteers’ bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution. In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, an average of 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans, according to National Geographic. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic items down to the size of grains of rice. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body? Previous studies may also give us a clue. According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold globally contains plastic. And even some tap water has been found to have tiny plastic particles in it. 1．According to USA Today, what was recently discovered? A．Plastic pollution is worse than ever. B．Sea Salt is not safe to eat anymore. C．Plastic has been found in human poop. D．Animals like birds or fish may eat plastic. 2．What do we know about the study from Environment Agency? A．The volunteers kept a record of what they ate for a week. B．It proved that ocean pollution has become rather serious. C．Scientists from the USA followed eight healthy volunteers. D．Nine plastic particles were found in the volunteers’ poop samples. 3．Paragraph 4 is written to tell us that _________. A．plastic can harm the lymphatic system. B．plastic particles can be a few different sizes. C．plastic particles can exist in everyone’s body. D．plastic particles can reach many parts of our bodies. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To ask people to eat healthy food. B．To ask people to reduce using plastic. C．To ask people not to throw plastic bags into the sea. D．To ask people to keep the animals away from plastic 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年中考英语第一轮复习之语法突破+题型探究（通用版） 专题4 阅读理解10篇(中考真题+名校模拟） （1） When you want to ask your teacher a question during class, what do you do?

So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work won first prize in a national competition aiming to nurture creative thinking by encouraging youths to solve social problems. The invention was also granted (授予) a national patent (专利). When connected to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to develop a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2,000 yuan.” After making their first device, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it based on the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be popularized (普及) in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 1．Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A．To get a national patent. B．To hold a reading competition. C．To encourage kids to solve social problems.

D．Feng and Meng have high hopes for their Braille reade （7） Two Swedish students have invented a new kind of bicycle helmet (头盔). It’s invisible (隐形的) because you cannot see it on a rider’s head. The helmet is really a kind of airbag. It is inside a large collar (衣领). People wear it around their neck like a scarf. When the rider falls off his or her bike, the collar quickly fills with air and an airbag appears around the head. The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstinat, wanted to change the way people ride bikes. They said, “Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky, like a hard mushroom (蘑菇) on the head.” They called their new invention the Hövding. The pair said it looked so cool that people would be happy to wear it. The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmet will change how people all over the world ride bikes. In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online in Europe. It sells for around $530. The company did not say when people in the rest of the world could buy it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is special about the new helmet? A．It is an airbag that looks like a mushroom.

The agreement has been the first of its kind in 40 years. It plans to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030. Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to hundreds of thousands of different kinds of animals and plants. Healthy oceans are a very important part of a healthy planet. But the oceans are in trouble. Overfishing (捕捞过度) has had a terrible effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships and other places has caused serious problems. In 1982, an agreement described the “high seas (公海)”, but it did not protect them. In these areas, all countries have the right to fish, send ships, and do research. The high seas cover about two-thirds of the ocean. But now people only protect 1. 2% of the areas. Last December, over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030. Without an international agreement, there was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The new agreement now makes this feasible. The new agreement tries to turn 30% of the high seas into protected areas by 2030. It also says that activities planned for the high seas must first be examined to see what kind of influences they might have on the ocean environment. Businesses in some countries hope to make a lot of money by getting valuable things from the bottom of the sea. Other businesses hope to find plants or animals in the ocean that could lead to new discoveries and new medicines. Many of the disagreements were about how valuable things would be shared between rich countries and poor ones. Poor countries wanted to make sure that the valuable things would help everyone, not just people in rich countries. 1．How many countries agreed to a new United Nations (UN) agreement to protect the world’s oceans? A．Nearly 20 countries. B．Very few countries. C．Most countries in the world. D．Just a few countries. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly show us? A．The problems oceans face. B．Some ways to protect oceans. C．Different kinds of ocean creatures. D．People’s different ideas about oceans. 3．What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Awful. B．Painful. C．Possible. D．Dangerous. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．The new agreement only tries to protect fish. B．All countries will stop fishing in the high seas. C．Valuable things from the oceans will go to rich countries. D．Many countries have paid attention to protecting the oceans. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The importance of healthy oceans. B．Overfishing and pollution in the oceans. C．A new agreement to protect the open oceans. D．Disagreements between rich and poor countries （9） Have you ever noticed something around you that you’ve never seen before? They all came about because someone invented them. Most inventions begin with an idea. Someone sees a need or a problem. Then he or she thinks of an idea to meet that needs or solve the problem. But not all inventions happen on purpose. They may be something by working on an idea and invent something else by chance. Or an inventor might make a mistake that turns out to be a good idea. Between AD 600 and 900, scientists in ancient China were working in a lab when they invented fireworks by accident. They were working on an invention that would help people live forever. They mixed materials together like salt, charcoal (木炭), and sulphur (硫黄). They put the mixture into pieces of bamboo. Then they threw them into a fire. This is how fireworks were invented. In 1905, a boy named Frank Epperson left a cup of soda (苏打水) outside all night. It had a wooden stick in it. The soda froze in the cold evening. In the morning, Frank tasted the frozen soda. He shared the frozen soda with his friends. All of them spoke highly of his new invention. It tasted really good! He called his invention “Episicle”. In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver was researching adhesives (黏合剂) when he discovered one that stuck to things, but could then be easily taken away. For years he tried to find a use for his invention. At the same time, another scientist named Art Fry was singing. He used small pieces of paper to mark the songs in his book. He needed bookmarks that would stay in place. Silver and Fry discussed their ideas and created the Post-it note. 1．According to Paragraph 3, scientists in ancient China were working in a lab to ________. A．invent fireworks B．invent something that could make fire C．cook some delicious food D．invent something that would help people live forever 2．Who invented “Episicle”? A．Scientists in China.

A．The Wright brothers invented the airplane. B．Whitcomb Judson invented the zipper. C．George Crum invented potato chips. D．Alexander Bell invented the telephone. 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．The importance of inventions B．How to invent things C．Some famous inventors D．Inventions by accident （10） We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals like birds, fish and whales. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop (粪便), USA Today reported. The finding came from a study led by scientists from Environment Agency in Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a poop sample for testing. Scientists found nine different types of plastic in the samples, according to the study. An average of 20 small plastic particles (颗粒) were found in every 10 grams of poop. The particles measured between 50 to 500 micrometers. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system (淋巴系统), and may even reach the liver (肝脏),” Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research, said to the Guardian. However, the scientists aren’t sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They’re not sure how the plastic got in the volunteers’ bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution. In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, an average of 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans, according to National Geographic. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic items down to the size of grains of rice. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body? Previous studies may also give us a clue. According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold globally contains plastic. And even some tap water has been found to have tiny plastic particles in it. 1．According to USA Today, what was recently discovered? A．Plastic pollution is worse than ever. B．Sea Salt is not safe to eat anymore. C．Plastic has been found in human poop. D．Animals like birds or fish may eat plastic. 2．What do we know about the study from Environment Agency? A．The volunteers kept a record of what they ate for a week. B．It proved that ocean pollution has become rather serious. C．Scientists from the USA followed eight healthy volunteers. D．Nine plastic particles were found in the volunteers’ poop samples. 3．Paragraph 4 is written to tell us that _________. A．plastic can harm the lymphatic system. B．plastic particles can be a few different sizes. C．plastic particles can exist in everyone’s body. D．plastic particles can reach many parts of our bodies. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To ask people to eat healthy food. B．To ask people to reduce using plastic. C．To ask people not to throw plastic bags into the sea. D．To ask people to keep the animals away from plastic 参考答案： （1） 1．C 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍规则的重要性 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“When you want to ask your teacher a question during class, what do you do?
